• SUSTAIN: The Sustain knob controls the amount of sustain added to your notes. Higher settings will increase the duration of your notes by boosting the decaying signal.
• Saklar suku: Press the footswitch to engage or disengage the compressor/sustainer effect. The blue LED will illuminate when the effect is active.
